JUAN DOMINGUEZ ON THE DOOR OUT

28 Jun 2016The club is opening the doors to see Juan Dominguez leaving Deportivo in a loan deal. They want to avoid the situation of last year, time when he only played five games at Primera División.

Juan Dominguez isn’t a problem to Deportivo, the opposite: he is a player for the house and a great asset.

Juan Dominguez has been playing at Depor’s first team since 2009 and last season was the one in which he had the lesser participation, either for physical problems or simply because former coach Víctor Sánchez preferred other options:
